This is a story begging to be told. For more than 10 years, American artist Ra Paulette treks a mile by himself to the sandstone mesas of northern New Mexico. Day by day, he patiently chipped and scraped away the walls of these sandstone caverns to produce a sculpted masterpiece of interlocking caverns.

The pile of wastes produced by his wondrous carvings are then removed by Paulette himself, using a simple wheel barrow. To Paulette, his daily solitary journey becomes an introspective pilgrimage. The transformed caves foster spiritual renewal and well being. When completed, they will become a venue for artistic events and self discovery. Such is Paulette’s fascination by the intricate relationship between humans, nature, and our inner soul.

The Devil is in the details. Upon first glance, the work of Maskull Laserre seems like just another contemporary art show, seemingly random found objects arranged in a gallery space. We then notice these everyday items, which all happen to be made of wood, appear to be badly damaged in one way or another. Of course, there in the chips and splinters lies the magic. Upon very close inspection, incredibly fine and intricate carvings reveal themselves and just like that, our faith in the artistic process is restored.

Her Northwest Natives Alphabet Set takes 52 crayons, half representing all the 26 alphabet letters, and the other half of which stand for the corresponding word spelled with each letter. The Yuma myotis (or Vesper bat) is quite cute.

Halloween is a month away, and you know what that means: it’s time to sharpen and show off your pumpkin carving skills! Though don’t be too cocky just yet.
